Why I came across this product

As a child I had the most beautiful natural long ringlets, as time has gone on I now seem to sport a natural frizzbomb. I can remember so well growing up people stopping me and commenting on my "lovely" hair, and I can remember thinking "liar!!" all I wanted was silky smooth straight hair. But of course, you always want what you don't have. If you're tall you wish you were a little shorter, if you're short you probably wish you were a little shorter... and so and so on. Anyway as time went on I found a brilliant cure named hair straighteners, or so I thought. I insisted on straightening it with my hot irons every single day so I could have that flat, lifeless hair I wished I had as opposed to the volume and bounce I had! Well. Shot myself in the foot a little there didn't I! Now I would give anything for those wretched ringlets but I'm never going to get back my natural curls. But now, of course, I don't like straight hair... I want big bouncy curls and waves (yes I am a typical female!) so instead I have to spend a little more at the boots counter and experiment different products!

Whats on the can?

The first thing that attracted me to this product was the packaging, I have tried alot of Toni and Guy Products and have always been impressed so when I saw the shiny silver can with the bold hot pink writing I thought I might give it a go. "Beach curl spray for wild waves & curls" now to me this means a natural loose wave. Worth a shot. The product set me back around £5.00 but looking online now I can see it can be purchased from a pharmacy shop for under £4.00 for 200ml. The can says "This thickening spray helps seperate curls and waves to create a dishevelled, loose, beach-effect"

My use of the product

Does it do what is says on the tin??? Yes I think it does, I think it's probably a product that would be different on certain hair types and perhaps now work as well but it works wonders on my mop!! The way I use it is I shampoo, condition and towel dry my hair. I then spritz twice all over my head and work it into my hair by combing and then scrunching it a little then let it dry naturally. It does say for extra volume use a diffuser and then curl but personally I don't like diffusers so I haven't tried that myself. Since my hair insists on not growing the curls are probably a little tighter on mine than they would be on longer hair but I would still describe them as loose. I have found that if you use a little more of the product then the curls go a little oily and crunchy (sounds lovely doesn't it?!) so really do try not to go overboard with it! If in doubt less is more!! I can't really describe the smell but it is BEAUTIFUL, a very light yet moreish scent and certainly a summer smell. I have found most of the Toni&Guy + Lee Stafford products smell very similar. The product does last on my hair all day without the waves dropping out unlike some curling products, personally I do also much prefer sprays to creams.

Overall view

I really like this product as a quick fix for some extra volume but I wouldn't use the product every day. I have had the same bottle for around 2 years now and I know I'm still not nearly finished because you really don't need much at a time. I would recommend it for holidays and summer days. Once I finally do finish the spray I will be buying another and certainly would advise it to anyone. If you have any questions at all just give me a shout!!
